Path detection of direct-buried optical cables is an important task in carrying out cable maintenance and fault diagnosis , which is currently often realized by detecting the electromagnetic signals in metallic strengthened wires of fiber-optic cables.In this paper ,the new-type fiber-optic cable path detection method based on Sagnac interferometer was proposed. Combining with the optical phase modulation technology and software demodulation technology ,the distributed optical fiber sensing theory was applied to locate cable posi-tions and detect cable path effectively.T he detection principle and system structure of the proposed method were expounded. The phase modulation and demodulation technology was analyzed. The feasibility of the method was verified by building the corresponding hardware and software platform.Experimental results show that the proposed method has high detection sensitivity and positioning accuracy and can effectively avoid elec-tromagnetic interferences usually occurring with the electric detection method.
